hi all,
sorry to sound like a complete idiot in advance !
I have been trying for over a month now to find some way to return my phone to stock so I can get the new ota update but im just having no luck !
I have tried everything to unroot , relock boot loader, and return to stock, I can successfully unroot, successfully relock the boot loader but cannot update OTA everytime I download the ota and allow the phone to start update process the phone boots into bootlaoder and a new line appears in the normal messages **** security warning*** when this happens I loose recovery and the phone hasn't updated. I then have to re-unlock the bootloader to then flash a recovery.
I cant flash RUU as there isn't an RUU available for me, H3G_001 , I have tried the suggested CWM nandroid backup, but this fails half way through something to do with android_secure
I cant seem to get the phone to successfully grant s-off to try the change cid method, I have tried to do this using HTC one kit by hasoon but no luck,
if anyone could please help it would me much appreciated
regards

Probably you don't have the stock rom or the recovery, because the secure warning come out when you aren't fully stock..
Look on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
Mine One works now fine and i have update to the latest OTA.

Is better link to XDA
still stuck!
hi all as you can probably tell form the age of this topic, I have been stuck for a while !!! (11 October ! )
I am still having problems trying to get the new update 2.24.771.3
my phone is carrier locked to three uk
it is unrooted
custom recovery cwm touch
bootloader unlocked / tampered
I understand I need stock recovery and to lock bootloader
I don't have stock rom
my problem is as follows, my phone has been telling me for atleast 4 months now that I have a software update, when I click it it restarts takes me to cwm recovery verifys install then gets stuck on cannot mount data ....
I understand I need to flash stock recovery, I have tried to do this using the "all in one kit" however when I click flash my own recovery, (phone reboots into bootloader) I then proceed to select the stock recovery.img the cmd box then hangs "waiting for device" I am then alerted by my computer that the usb device has malfunctioned. ( I am on windows 8 and have turned of signature verification)
I cannot use the supposed simple method of RUU as there isn't one available for my stupid network!!
I have tried to use a cwm recovery image, this usually starts then spits out android_secure is missing.
yes I do have a hammer ready to hit the phone with, but just before I do this is there ANYONE with any last tips to help me, because ive just about had enough with this stupid phone !
the phone has 24 hours left to live, can you save its life ?
thanks in advance for any help.
1. You cannot install an OTA with a custom recovery.
2. I've encountered a CWM bug having to do with .android_secure. There's a hidden folder in /sdcard that caused it, I don't remember whether this file is ".android_secure" or another. You can probably wipe the sdcard before restoring the backup. If that fails, you can probably manually restore the backup with ADB (this will be hard).
3. If you want to install the custom recovery, boot to the fastboot and use USB to install the recovery. Don't use a toolkit because they're useless when anything goes wrong.
I have an htc One running on the Reliance Network. Versions 4.1.2 / 1.29.651.10
It is Bootloader Unlocked with TWRP 2.6.0.1 and root
I have downloaded the mouthful OTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2-1.29.651.10_release_326731tcfazf1gnytc7g74.zipOTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2
-1.29.651.10_release_326731
When I try to flash it using TWRP it bombs out as there is no MD5 file.
I have two queries:
1. How do I update the TWRP to 2.6.3.0?
2. How do I install the update.
I prefer to use the fastboot method?
I have downloaded the update to my PC since aborting deletes the file. Also, I have the TWRP on my PC.
Please advise and help.

You cannot upgrade when your phone is rooted(i got to know from hetaldp)
I upgraded to JB 4.3, it awesome. Touch is Excellent. i too use relaince. there are no issues.
BUT remember you cannot root again, as over i am facing problems,,,
check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494594
So Please kindly wait, till the root for hTC ONE for upgraded JB 4.3 one Comes...
Are you using Sprint or T-Moile or Version HTC ONE?
To get upgrade installed, please un-root, relock, and then you can perform the update...

It is Sprint, and from Hetal. Unrooting and relocking can be a pain, reloading everything. However, for almost two years I did not do any work on the Android side, so have forgotten everything.
I do not mind a locked phone it I can get to 4.3
Can you please pm me with the unrooting, relocking and the 4.3! Root for 4.3 is inevitable - just a matter of time.
Following the GooManager route I managed to get TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, except the phone did not reboot. I did check it is 2.6.3.0.
Now the problem of the OTA remains. Maybe I will be forced to follow pm.mohanani's route of relocking. I cannot understand if I relock the bootloader then is not the unrooting automatic!
Also, Mr Mohanani GooManager requires root, so do not bother.
Managed to upgrade to 4.3 using Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU from Android Central as suggested by Hetal. I had to do a <fastbook oem lock> first. No problems except it wiped the data totally. Working fine. I have a few points / questions
1. Booting into Recovery is showing the Red Exclamation in a Triangle. Obviously not working, as in rooted!!
2. The Boot into recovery is showing both [RELOCKED] and S-off.
- Is this the cause?
- As per Hetal S-off means that I can root straight away irrespective of the Relocked status
- I guess OTA to KitKat (when it comes) is also a no go.
- What recovery is suggested TWRP 2.6.3, CWM (version?), or some other. This means that 4.4 will again be a full reload.
- Any fixes?

Thanks. So I will again wait for the 4.4 RUU to be available on XDA or somewhere, and then install and forget OTA.
The point is recovery. I presume with S-off custom recovery must to be installed.
Do I install TWRP which takes care of root or do you suggest some other route, ie, root (how?) > recovery.

Install TWRP 2.6.3.0
Option 1 flash SuperSU or another superuser file and run stock rooted
Option 2 flash a custom rom
Still stuck. I downloaded GooManager, and it will go into download > nowstarting and hang forever. I was advised to go the adb fastboot way, i.e.
download latestTWRP image filethen
adb reboot bootloader
then when I get
ui fstboot
fastboot flash recovery <twrp-recovery-name.img>
and its done.
I downloaded the .img file. Put everything into c:\recovery. Moved there under the command prompt. Plugged the phone into the computer, got both the drives (htc sync manager, and HTCONE) . So the connection was kosher.
Then gave adb reboot bootloader
The adb daemon started, but it found no device.
Obviously I being a noob in this game was missing something.
Also, I hear that the ROMs are available which to not reformat the storage. Are these the Deodexed versions or something.
Also, once in ten calls or so the screen goes totally blank at the end and is pain to restart the phone.
Checked up with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712
Seems that I am S-off but no rooted! Now what??
After a day or so and some cool thought I think I may have the problem identified. It is likely to be the lack of a root. I tried the following and the responses there from:
adb reboot bootloader
rebooted into bootloader Showing relocked and S-off. No fastboot option in the lower menu!
Now:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
I get
sending recovery <8600kB>...
Okay [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED <remote not allowed>
finished. total time 1.170s
Any ideas, and when may I expect root for 4.3. At the moment the phone appears to be working file, but no recovery!! HELP!!
Do I need to unlock again despite S-off. Also, then what is the bitstream I send it from 4.3 - the same as the old one!!
Yes you need to unlock your bootloader again to be able to flash twrp
I did as per the htc route - Do the unlock, reinstalled the OS, download the bitstream, etc, and then the OS reloaded. Still Goomanager could not get TWRP 2.6.3.0 so used the fastboot route and succeeded in downloading it to the phone. Thanks for encouraging me and putting me on the right track.
Now ho to root. Then I may as well get Titanium up!
You can get SuperSU or Superuser from the playstore or install a custom rom.
A very interesting experience. I could not enter bootloader [Down-vol + power was just restarting the phone], even adb devices was drawing a blank. So I decided to do a factory reset from phone. Lo and behold it dropped me into the TWRP screen. I managed to root, restarted to the main Downloaded su checker which completed the root. Confirmed. Then downloaded Titanium with Pro license (I have it) and did a recovery. Also, TWRP Manager (downloaded) is working and I am able to start into bootloader, etc.
When I try and look for upgrades with TWRP installer it says none. I know 2.6.3.0 has been upgraded to 2.6.3.2 Let sleeping dogs lie.
Also, I have not checked with adb devices but I am sure that too will now work.
Thanks, but what is going on. Is it only God and maybe Google know what happened?
Thanks for helping, and keeping me going.
I had more or less decided to revert to 4.1 and do an S-on <fastboot oem writesecureflag 3> and bootloader lock and look for OTA!
Added on 25th November
adb still not recognising the beast. adb devices gets a blank list. Phone is available under Windows so drivers etc are Ok.
A noob question. I saw
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex & De-Odexed
Insecure Boot img. init.d support, data/app support
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 De-Odexed
on the upgrade thread. Now what do the terms Rootedm Odex and De-Odexed mean to the average user. Stock means the basic htc ROM I presume.
Also, rooted means what stages are covered.
afaik to upgrade you lock the bootloader, do the upgrade, and then in normal situations again unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom recovery (TWRP does the rooting - hopefully).
Do these ROMs take care of some or more of these stages?
Hello all again. It's been almost year since last here, and clearly I have learnt nothing in the meanwhile.
First, specifications:
I have an HTC One M7 (AT&T) that had been updated to 4.3 OTA, then unlocked via htcdev, flashed with CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, and then rooted with the Superuser zip on the CWM site. The device remains S-On.
Now, for the detailed inquiry:
I've been in the Stone Ages (see, Jelly Bean) for a while and have been planning on updating my phone for some time. However, the easy way, i.e. OTA, requires that I return to stock recovery. Now, as far as I know, this would require the use of an RUU (I'm not quite sure which one - perhaps "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.12_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2.exe" from AndroidRUU?) which would require that I lock my bootloader (correct?) which would also happen to wipe my device. I was hoping that I might be able to flash the stock recovery image (which I have been unsuccessful thus far in finding on my friend Google, since I assume it was deleted from my phone when I flashed CWM?) without having to go through an RUU. Is such a thing feasible? Where would I find the appropriate stock recovery image file to do so? And is there a way, once I (hopefully) receive the OTA update, to copy that new stock recovery image to my PC before I switch back to custom recovery to avoid bothering all you fine folks about this again?
Thank you all for taking a look, and I appreciate any direction you may provide. (Seriously, though, I'm suspecting that the reason I haven't gotten an LTE signal the past couple months is because my radio is so outdated.)
You can install stock recovery using fastboot command.
However to apply OTA, if your phone is S-On, you must lock the bootloader.
You don't have to lock bootloader if your phone is Soff, for OTA, just stock recovery is good enough.

Just flashing the stock recovery will probably not allow you to successfully install OTAs. You have to have stock rom, stock recovery and possibly some /preload/ files that were deleted when you unlocked your bootloader. The quickest way to stock for OTA would be to flash a RUU. I would propose this route:
Option A
Lock your bootloader
Flash RUU 3.17.502.3
Receive OTA updates if they are still available
Option B
Lock your bootloader
Flash in bootloader: firmware 4.18.502.7
Flash RUU 4.18.502.7
Flash in bootloader: firmware 5.12.502.2
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
Download Guru Reset 5.12.502.2 and place on your sdcard
Boot into TWRP and install GURU Reset
For complete stock Say no to installing Root when exiting TWRP and Flash the Stock Recovery
Thanks for the feedback. I was a bit surprised to find out about needing to re-lock the bootloader even with stock recovery since a bunch of other places I looked said that I could use an unlocked bootloader as long as everything else was stock (just couldn't find a way to return to stock recovery without an RUU - which would require re-locking the bootloader - at the time). Used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227) from Majmoz's signature and got the relevant recovery.img from it. Since I had it, I figured I might as well try it before going through the process of re-locking the bootloader since being bounced out of the OTA and then going through the full process of relock-RUU-OTA anyhow was the worst that could happen. Turns out it worked.
So, for posterity's sake in case anyone else should come across a similar issue, everything I did (most of it probably unnecessary, but who knows):
-Made CWM backup (in case I happened to need to re-lock the bootloader which would wipe the device data to factory)
-Pulled that backup to my PC in case flashing to stock recovery wiped it (adb pull [backup directory, e.g. /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/[folder]])
-Went into recovery from the bootloader, fastboot, plugged in the usb, and flashed the stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery [the downloaded stock recovery .img file in the platform-tools directory])
-Went back to the bootloader menu and entered the stock recovery and rebooted the device from there (I recall having to do that when I flashed CWM for the recovery to "stick", not sure if it was necessary here)
-Went into AT&T Software Update, let it download off the Wi-Fi, and let it apply. Did its thing with the image of the green downward arrow within the circulating arrows followed by reboot a few times, the "Android Update" screen where it runs through your applications, and voila, I am now on 4.4.2.
Updates:
-Have downloaded the updated stock recovery image.
-Flashed CWM Recovery back onto device
-Re-rooted via CWM (confirmed root)
-Made a new backup through CWM.
Now, if only I could figure out what the issue with the LTE signal is since I've never fiddled with that - guess I can heckle AT&T tech support for that.

Good to know: the backup directory actually showed as empty while I still had stock, and then each backup's folder reappeared when I put CWM back on - was patting myself on the back for a few minutes there.

It worked! Used *#*#4636#*# to pull that up (didn't know one could do that!) and, sure enough, it was on "WCDMA Preferred" for some reason. Switched it back to "GSM/CDMA/LTE AUTO" and my long-lost signal has returned.
Thanks a ton!

my htc m7 got bricked and stuck in a bootloop after two days of being OTA updated to lollipop, knowing that it's S-on and bootloader locked, now when i try to unlock it through HTCDEv everything goes well but when the phone reboots it would still be locked and won't enter recovery! and when trying to flash a stock firmware instead of rebooting to bootloader (fastboot oem rebootRUU) the phone would reboot to system and stuck in boot loop, any solution to flash the phone back to normal?
If you are using Clockwork Mod, then there should be a way to get back into the rom flash option. Go into your "Power/Volume Down" page, and look for the option to flash from zip. Find the zip you used when ORIGINALLY flashing to your custom rom. Do not try to go to stock at first, work your way backwards. If you can get back to the working custom rom, from there you can use on screen functions to repair the phone back to stock.

Looks like you are having firmware or hardware issue. We often see this problem (not being able to unlock the bootloader) when the phone was relocked with a custom recovery still installed. But it doesn't seem to be your case since your phone is s-on and locked unless you tell me that you did re-locked the bootloader with a custom recovery installed...
Unfortunately the only walk around for this issue is to flash the same version stock firmware.zip in ruu mode which is not accessible in your case.
Why you can't access the ruu mode, I really don't know, it might confirm an firmware issue, maybe with the bootloader. Your not the first one stuck in that situation (not unlockable + ruu mode broken), its not common but you are not the first.
Btw is your phone a GPE or Sense variant? GPE variant have a well known bug which will prevent the bootloader to be unlocked. Does not apply to Sense variants.
I'm afraid there is nothing to do if you can't unlock or access ruu mode. Maybe a jtag repair could work or you'll have to send it for repair.
Sorry

There is no such option for HTC devices. To flash stock zip on the M7 you must access RUU mode, OP said RUU mode is broken...

Don't understand why you are talking about custom roms, did you read the OP?
I appreciate your responds guys and i believe the only option left is the jtag i guess..
I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp and several roms to try them out, then decided to go back to stock. Currently have OOS 3.5.4 installed with stock recovery (that came with the toolkit). However, whenever I try to lock the booltloader again, the phone won't boot up. It will bootloop, or just stay off with the led glowing white. I tried to sideload the stock ROM from OnePlus, but it fails after about 45% completion. I tried both 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 and both fail after about 45%. The only way to get the phone to boot again is by unlocking the bootloader again, then it boots just fine. Tried unlocking with the toolkit as well as fastboot oem lock. Both give me the prompt on the phone, then wipe the phone and go into the bootloop.
Any suggestions on how to re-lock the bootloader? I want to be able to get the OTA update, which I think will fail with an unlocked bootloader. Note, I have also tried loading the Nougat update from settings - system update - local upgade (both full and update) and they also fail to load shortly after booting to recovery.
Thanks,
TR
Instead of using the toolkit, try just doing it manually.
fastboot oem lock IS the correct way to lock the bootloader.
If you're running into all those issues, try to reflash the stock rom from the official site. OR try this
NOTE: This WILL wipe everything on your phone so make a backup first!
First Unlock booloader1. On your phone go into Developer screen (Settings --> Developer Options)
If you don't have this go back to Settings --> About Device. Tap "Build number" 7-10 times to unlok developer options
2. In Developer Options turn on "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlock"
3. Open ADB in command prompt and go to the directory where ADB is.
Type adb reboot bootloader
4. Once your device is in fastboot mode, type in fastboot devices to make sure your device is listed
5. Type in fastboot oem unlock to unlock your device bootloader
You can check to make sure it was properly unlocked by typing in fastboot oem device-info.
6. Reboot into your system
Files we need7. Download the following files:
TWRP - https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/oneplus/twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3t.img
No-verity-opt-encrypt - https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip
Magisk - http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Phh-Superuser - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3988488&d=1483407725
Latest Stable Nougat Rom - http://otafsc.h2os.com/patch/amazon...s3TOxygen_28_OTA_035_all_1612310259_2dc0c.zip
8. Copy all the files to your phone (keep the original on your pc just in case)
9. Load back up to fastboot mode
In ADB type adb reboot bootloader
10. Flash twrp img we downloaded above by typing
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3t.img
11. After this reboot into the system
Install all of our downloaded files through TWRP12. Now boot into recovery by issuing the following ADB command
adb reboot recovery (you should go into TWRP)
13. Once you're in twrp flash the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip" file OR you can format the data partition to f2fs to prevent the dm-verity error.
14. Now install the stock stable nougat rom we downloaded above
15. Do a factory system wipe / cache & dalvik
16. Install magisk through TWRP
17. Wipe cache/dalvik
18. Install phh SuperUser
19. Now reboot into the system normally.
NOTE: This *COULD* take a while since you did a clean install of nougat so just be patient and you should be good to go after this.
Thanks for the reply.
I did do fastboot oem lock, and it results in an unbootable system. fastboot oem unlock makes it bootable again. Not sure why. Also, whenever I do adb sideload <any_rom> it fails after about 45%. Not sure what's happening. Your instructions would get me to Nougat with TWRP and an unlocked bootloader, which may be what I end up doing, but I was trying to get back to fully stock, and locked again, so that OTA's will work properly. If nothing else works, I will go the route you suggest above.
Thanks again!
I just figured I'd try to get you to a working system/phone. After you get all that working you can probably lock your bootloader back to default. Now, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that if you have a custom recovery you will need to restore that to stock as well before setting the bootloader back to locked.

I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp and several roms to try them out, then decided to go back to stock. Currently have OOS 3.5.4 installed with stock recovery (that came with the toolkit). However, whenever I try to lock the booltloader again, the phone won't boot up. It will bootloop, or just stay off with the led glowing white. I tried to sideload the stock ROM from OnePlus, but it fails after about 45% completion. I tried both 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 and both fail after about 45%. The only way to get the phone to boot again is by unlocking the bootloader again, then it boots just fine. Tried unlocking with the toolkit as well as fastboot oem lock. Both give me the prompt on the phone, then wipe the phone and go into the bootloop.
Any suggestions on how to re-lock the bootloader? I want to be able to get the OTA update, which I think will fail with an unlocked bootloader. Note, I have also tried loading the Nougat update from settings - system update - local upgade (both full and update) and they also fail to load shortly after booting to recovery.
Thanks,
TR

I also have the same problem, after the bootloader lock the phone does not start.
I tried with all the possible procedures, also even the rom flash in local and sideload it does not work, It comes to 45% and then fails.
we will highlight the problem, so everyone will know and maybe there is a solution

But of course, you can't relock phone with a non standard recovery. Replace TWRP with the ROMs real recovery and relock will work again.
That's what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation.
Use the unbrick tutorial to go back to stock
This is what i did

I'm sorry, even with the stock recovery but does not work, it was the first thing I did
You can a unbick tutorial. It worked for my OnePlus 3T. Just search up How to unbrick (whatever OnePlus device you have) on Google. Then follow all the instructions carefully. If you need help with it I could try to do a remote session with you. Edit: It will erase all data and you will boot with oos 3.5.3 ( I also had the same issue as you. But I couldn't install any zip with stock recovery or adb side load.
Haven't seen nothing on the fórum about this particular subject, locking the bootloader seems a problem in this phone

Only if you have modified the phone in some way or another (like rooting and installing twrp) before trying to re-lock.
If you keep it stock, you should be able to re-lock. Or else, just use the Qualcomm restore method to re-lock.
tried this
OK what i did was when the phone was starting and vibrating I push the power bottom and volume down bottom at the same time ,then i connected the phone to the PC,from the panel in the phone there are 3 categories to erase everything on the phone I did it all(1,2,3) and then I put the phone in ADB mode from the control panel in the phone,After that I flash via fastboot the original .zip from one plus for the version 4.0.3 (1.4 GB) ,when it finished I restarted and the phone started normal again,I hope this help someone alse,I was so desesperated:silly:.
I think the problem in re-locking it is the modified boot image. Locked bootloaders don't support those.
re-locking bootloader will getback the warranty ???

Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty on this device:
https://oneplus.net/support/answer/will-rooting-or-unlocking-the-bootloader-void-my-warranty
Once I have root, is there a command to re-lock and later eventually unlock the bootloader again?
I remember this was possible with google nexus devices, there was a shell command (require root) that was able to change bootloader status
